I dislike cutting scraps into triangles. I know I won't be taking care of them correctly. I don't want anything starched just waiting to be used. I used to live in climates where bugs were attracted to such things.
I AGREE with AliKat. If I am doing a scrappy quilt, I love Thangles. I do make the strip a size bigger because as MadQuilter said I like to make mine a little bit bigger, press and then trim for accuracy. You just have to try different ways of doing things and then when you find what works for you, then HAVE FUN !!
